Welcome to the blog, and an update on Kaikoura after the earthquake that took place in November, we are open for business and offering many of our regularly activities and places to stay are available.

There are of course some things a little different than normal, and many locals are calling it the New Kaikoura

The Kaikoura township in the South Island of New Zealand relies on Tourism for it’s very existence. They are starting to get back on their feet after the November quake and the locals are calling it the New Kaikoura. The road has also now re-opened from Christchurch to Kaikoura along the coast and the Inland Road Route from Hanmer Springs and Blenheim.

There are many great tours and activities back in action and shops, accommodation and restaurants open. Others are closer to reopening the more time goes by.

On December 27th the first cruise ship since the earthquakes docked, Chief Executive Officer of Cruize New Zealand Kevin O’Sullivan said they are excited to be a part of helping the town move forward.
